Narrative Portraits in Qualitative Research offers an analytical
approach to qualitative data. Through narrative portraiture,
research findings can be contextualised in broader social
narratives without losing sight of the unique personal qualities of
the research encounter. Drawing a parallel between the artistic
work of a portrait maker in depicting a subject - sometimes an
object - and the work of the researcher in exploring people's
experiences, narrative portraiture invites a close-up into a
person's narrated and embodied experience and argues that one of
the main research findings in qualitative research is the person
themselves; their circumstances, and their life story. The book
proposes four approaches to narrative portraiture: (1) a systematic
approach to narrative analysis, (2) the use of phronesis in
narrative portraiture, (3) the concept of 'imagined portraits' as a
collaborative approach between visual arts and social sciences, and
(4) the use of 'performative portraits' both as an analytic tool
and product for research communication. This book will help
qualitative researchers create first-person narratives that will
give a glimpse into the participants' lives in a way that is
simultaneously deep, concise, and evocative. This book will be
suitable for those interested in narrative methods and qualitative
research in health care, education, and the social sciences.

The Everyday Lives of Gay Men draws on the expertise of 12
contributors from different countries and fields, writing from an
autoethnographic first-person approach. Putting the power of
personal stories at the centre of the construction of sophisticated
narratives of gay men's lives, the accounts draw attention to the
limits of traditional perspectives to gay men's studies that look
at gayness through a sexualised lens and explore how gay men make
sense of their identity in their everyday lives. Together they
present a complex, nuanced understanding of gayness and challenge
the conception of 'being gay' as a sexual orientation because it
describes in sexual terms an identity that is not only, not always,
and not predominantly sexual. The authors come from a variety of
fields, including counselling studies and sociology, to
communication, religion, and education. The innovative approach of
The Everyday Lives of Gay Men makes it ideal for students and
scholars in gender studies, sexuality studies, sociology, mental
health, and research methods. The Open Access version of this book,
